Skinny Chocolate
After much trial and error I have finally tweaked the Trim, Healthy Mama (THM) recipe to [my] perfection!
Equipment
- Magic Bullet or blender
Ingredients
- ¼ cup homemade sweet blend - see notes below
- 1 doonk pure stevia extract - omit if using homemade sweet blend
- ¼ cup pure cocoa
- ½ cup organic coconut oil
- 1 tbsp cream - or cream cheese
- ¼ tsp mineral salt
Optional Add-In's
- shredded coconut
- berries - (excluding blueberries)
- chopped nuts
- 1 tbsp peanut paste
- ¼ cup peanut flour
- extracts or flavourings
Instructions
- If coconut oil is hard, melt it *gently*. Very gently, if it is too liquid-y it doesn't solidify properly.
- Combine the softened coconut oil, cocoa, sweetener, and salt in a bowl and stir well. Pour into ice cube trays or chocolate or molds, or onto a plastic plate and put in the freezer to harden for at least 30minutes.
- Once frozen, take out of freezer and put into containers and into the fridge.
Notes
*Optional additions: coconut, berries, chopped nuts, berries, peanut paste, etc. Maybe even a squirt of Nirvana Stevia Chocolate Drops.
Note: I have the handy dandy shaker that came with the NuNaturals Stevia. I open the lid to only have the powder come out from three little circles. I then give the Stevia about 3 gentle shakes. However, it’s all personal taste learned through trial and error.
A Serving Size is about one third of this mix at each sitting.
I only buy pure cocoa. Cacao is too expensive for me. Simply check the back of the packet for the ingredient list to ensure you have pure or 100% cocoa. Some producers add all sorts of sweeteners and fillers to their cocoa so you don’t want this.
